NetLinx Programming

NXB-KNX KNX Communications Gateway

Analyzing Feedback

Data feedback is analyzed in a DATA_EVENT:

The feedback is always in STRING format

One DATA_EVENT is actuated per feedback (exactly one feedback in the DATA.TEXT)

NetLinx SEND_COMMANDs

Commands to the module always take place per SEND_COMMAND to the device.

The NXB-KNX supports the following NetLinx commands:

In cases of multiple feedback, the corresponding number of events is actuated.

Channel feedback is analyzed in a CHANNEL_EVENT.

Level feedback is analyzed in a LEVEL_EVENT.

KNX_Tools.axi provides convenience function equivalents (See the Functions

Available In KNX_Tools.axi table on page 35).

NetLinx SEND_COMMANDs

Command Description

ADD= Adds a KNX group address to list.

Syntax:

ADD=<No>:<Type>:<GrpAdr>[:Flags]

Note: Flags are optional

Parameters:

• <No> = AMX Number of Actuator (range = 1 - 3000)

• <Type> = Actuator Type (Switch, Control, Dim4, 1Byte, 2Byte, 3Byte, 4Byte, Text, HexText)

• <GrpAdr> = KNX group address in 2 or 3 grouped display

• <Flags>:

EIS5 = Value is reported additionally as ASCII Float Value. The KNX Value is converted according

to EIS5 Standard (only valid for 2Byte Actuators)

Time = Value is reported additionally as ASCII Time (hh:mm:ss).

Note: Only valid for 3Byte Actuators

Date = Value is reported additionally as ASCII Date (MM/DD/YY).

Note: Only valid for 3Byte Actuators)

PS = Actuator is automatically polled with Start of AMX System

Note: Flags are separated by Commas

Examples:

SEND_COMMAND dvKNX,'ADD=13:Switch:1/0/11'

SEND_COMMAND dvKNX,'ADD=17:1Byte:4/7/12:PS'

SEND_COMMAND dvKNX,'ADD=45:2Byte:3/0/11:EIS5'

SEND_COMMAND dvKNX,'ADD=12:3Byte:2/1/101:TIME,PS'

ADR Definition of output format of KNX group address (Main/Middle/Sub-group or

Main group/Sub-group).

Syntax:

ADR <Value>

Parameters:

<Value> = 2/3

Example:

SEND_COMMAND dvKNX,'ADR 3'
